Sticky Boards are padded or unpadded cardboard covered in a strong adhesive on one side. Although most often you’ll find them used to finish cross stitch or embroidery, they can also be used to finish needlepoint. The adhesive is strong enough to hold needlepoint. Stitched Modern has an illustrated tutorial to do this.
If you use the padded boards, follow the instructions for boards without padding.
You’ll love this as a way to finish needlepoint yourself.
